Summary "Bob Strong's Holidays" by John Conroy Hutcheson is a delightful children's adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows young Bob Strong and his sister Nellie as they are sent to spend their summer holidays with their Aunt Polly in Portsmouth, while their busy barrister father remains at work in London. Accompanied by their dog Rover and an unexpected new friend, a runaway boy named Dick, the siblings embark on various maritime escapades amid their holiday, filled with both excitement and mishaps. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Bob and Nellie's train journey to Portsmouth, where they encounter a retired sea captain who proves instrumental in their adventure. As the children settle into their holiday, they meet Dick, who escapes a cruel stepfather and joins Bob and Nellie's pursuits along the Channel. Adventure abounds as the characters navigate the lively seaside, undertake various activities, and even deal with unexpected disasters, including a near-drowning that threatens their new friend's life. The opening effectively establishes a tone of innocent exploration and camaraderie among the young characters, setting the stage for their summer of excitement by the sea.
